"It's a friendship between two people that has been made into something horrible, rotten. People are trying by hook or by crook to make me look bad."Quit victimizing me!"
That is the 900 lb gorilla of truth in the closet that no one in the media has the courage to admit.
That is the 900 lb gorilla of truth in the closet that no one in the media has the courage to admit.Never mind the media. I'd be happy if our own bishops had the courage to admit it.
He buys them a coke, he plays with their pee-pees! Sometimes he gives them a friendly bj.
Old queers like this are doing the devil's work everyday in the Catholic Church. They can be condemned to spend years in prison, but their actions have condemned them to an eternity in hell.
The Church hierarchy owes lengthy explanations to our Lord for their pussyfooting around and obsfucation of this ghastly issue that cries to Heaven for vengeance.
Everyone is sorry that the pope is frail and ill, but he has squandered a great God-given opportunity to have taken a fire hose to the Church and washed out the evil secular humanism that has permeated Christ's Church! It was within his power and, indeed, his province to have rolled back the foolish liturgies, sacrements, etc. to pre Vatican II days where the Church actually stood for something sacred and significant.
He too, when it becomes time to trade in his popemobile, will stand before God with weak excuses.
GAG! is right. When I found out about this, I almost vomited. This is in north-central New Jersey. The priest in question was shuffled by our bishop, Frank Rodimer, and was not defrocked until a couple of months ago - when the bishop was forced to do so. This bishop, has made the lives of the victims and their families miserable for several years. He is heavily implicated in the sexual molestation scandal (in several ways) has indicated that he's going to retire next year. When you get the full story, and look at the whole picture, you see that the only concern this bishop had was to keep this whole thing secret.
Read my post too. I didn't say that if priests were allowed to marry, there would be NO homo priests and NO molestation. I said there would be LESS. If you took 100 single gay men and 100 married straight men there would be far LESS men in the married group that would be attracted to small boys. LESS LESS LESS LESS LESS
"more pedophilia is perpetrated by stepdads than by anyone else in this country today, and they are, guess what, MARRIED!)" Most of the pedophilia that you're talking about (stepdads) is where a stepdad is attacted to a teenage post-pubescent DAUGHTER, NOT a PRE-pubscent SON. Homosexuals child-molesters are attracted to little boys much more than little girls. Allowing priests to marry would thin out the ranks of homosexual priests.
Well, for one thing, I'm not Catholic anymore, but for theological reasons, not this. However, I see nothing wrong with anticipating this sort of thing in any situation (church, camp, scouts, school, sports etc..), and preparing your children to be aware, alert, and willing to fight back. There can be pervert freaks anywhere.
Maybe so, I'm by no definition an expert on the subject of people who like little boys, and as far as I can tell to this point, neither are you. However, can you agree with me on my guess homosexual pedophiles are disproportionately attracted to little boys (and even the people you mention above probably have homosexual leanings) than to little girls?
Neither of us are providing any documentation for our arguments, so so far this is all conjecture. However, I have yet to see you dispute the fact that if their were married priests, it would thin the amount of homosexual priests in the priest hood. Remember LESS? That's my whole point. Married priests, less queers.
